A lovely riad tucked away in the Medina. An oasis of calm amid the hustle and bustle. I would have given totally full marks apart from I'd booked this riad on the basis that it had a small gym but that had been removed.

Definitely NOT a 4-star
We cannot understand why this place has a 4star rating. I think they’d rating should be re-evaluated. It’s in a very bad and dirty area of the medina. Walking to it was pretty scary and once we got there, we were even more disappointed! The exterior entrance has obvious deferred maintenance. Once inside, we were again disappointed bcuz the interior courtyard was dim, dingy, had deferred maintenance and depressing. This place was so bad that we decided to move to another Riad. A Riad that has 4star rating but there truly is NO comparison!
Mohamed is a very nice man and he tried to help us but he and the staff had a “that’s the way it is” kind of attitude. It was a bit frustrating but we dealt with it.

Riad Ben Tachfine is in the less touristy part of the Médina and offered us a glimpse of life in this fascinating old city. The staff, particularly Malika, was kind and helpful. We came from the airport late in the afternoon and were hungry and Maliki greeted us with mint tea and cookies and arranged for us to have a simple meal of bread, meatballs and fruit salad (for a charge of 15 euro for the two of us). When we left she sent two men to carry our luggage to the street and hail a taxi for us (which, it turned out, was not so simple so we were glad to have them there.) The riad is old and beautiful but like much of the Médina has a feeling of faded elegance. One suggestion for the management: Make hand soap more available! There was soap in the shower but none by the sink in the bathroom that came with our room and none in the downstairs bathroom near the front door.

Arrived at Morocco airport and our pick up arranged by the hotel did not turn up,we waited for 1 hour then got a taxi ourselves to the hotel at double the price.
The cleaner must have broken a glass when cleaning the room because the matching glasses we had for the first 2 days did not match on the 3rd day, we only noticed this when my wife stood on a piece of broken glass and cut her foot in the bedroom.
We had no hot water for 2 days we complained on the first day this happened but still no hot water the following day.
We were given clean towels on the first 4 nights but no clean towels for the remaining 3 days of our 7 night stay.
If you book this Riad for a holiday ask not to be put in the only room on the ground floor
Very noisy in the morning from 06:30 each day as the breakfast room is next to the ground floor room.
The Riad is located in the old part of town down a couple darkly lit alleyways
Close to the hotel we were approached 3 times over the course of the week by groups telling us the road ahead was closed and to get to where we wanted to go was to follow them to which we obviously ignored.
So for us not a good holiday and we would never return to Riad or The area it was situated.

Quaint and Charming Oasis
We were very happy with our stay at Riad Ben Tachfine. Not going to lie: the Medina is a weird place. I got nervous on the way there because the whole location is essentially an unmarked, snaking alley maze. But, when they opened the Riad door, I was amazed! The wonderfully hospitable staff (Yassine and the madame) were attentive and helpful the whole time. Beautifully decorated, super cute, full of culture and history. Thank you!

Adventure in Morocco
Lovely riad in the medina. Location makes it a little tough to get to but staff will meet the taxi and assist you to the riad. They will even escort you to a local restaurant. Staff was exceptional. They went out of their way to make us comfortable. They even prepared a special meal for one of us who got sick. The room was a wee bit small and lacked chairs, but we made due. Lighting was somewhat dim in the bathroom. The common area was super. Overall we were most pleased with the facility and felt the minor issues were far surpassed by the wonderful staff. Dinner can be arranged if you wish.

Very kind staff, near NE corner of Medina
Riad is a bit of a chore to find, but worth it. Hospitality top notch, staff very kind. Rooms and bathroom large and comfy. At NE corner of Medina. Once we found our bearings it was 10-15 min walk to major attractions. Riad is gated and secure.

Slice of Old Marrakech
This was a great stay, the immaculate design and decor authentic to the area and well maintained was a great oasis in the hustle and bustle of town. It is a fair distance to the center of town, but the distance made for a welcome respite and it was all within a 30minutes walk. Service was top notch.

We had a great stay at the Riad. They picked us up from the main st after we got a little lost on the way there! the Riad is quiet, the staff is friendly and accommodating, It's clean and wiFi is fine. The bed is firm- not ideal for side sleeping- but comfortable. It's a good location out of the bustle but close enough to walk back for an afternoon rest.

Die Lage des hotels ist sehr schlecht, es ist selbst für ein Riad in der Medina sehr sehr schlecht zu finden.
Der check in war nicht unfreundlich und unangenehm. Entsprechend ist dann unsere Bewertung auf expedia ausgefallen. Als die Besitzerin dies nach der ersten Nacht gelesen hatte, hat sie uns am nächsten Morgen aus dem Hotel geworfen, weil ihr die Bewertung nicht gefallen hat. Sie konnte und wollte nicht mit der Kritik umgehen und hat sie als beleidigung aufgefasst. Sie hat sich auch gar nicht auf ein Gespräch eingelassen sondern uns dazu aufgefordert sofort das Hotel zu verlassen. Wir hatten eigentlich 4 Nächte gebucht und bezahlt. Letztendlich war es für uns sehr gut, weil wir dann ein sehr schönes Riad in einer viel besseren Lage und mit sehr freundlichem Personal gefunden haben in dem wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben.

Amazing, simply amazing. It was the best choice we could have done. Lovely Malika and Sam and also anybody else working at Riad Ben Tachfine have been more than helpful, absolutely attentive and just made us feel good and happy any moment. The Riad and also the Marrakesch Suite were great, full of wonderful decorations. Everything was perfectly clean at all times and we could feel the unique atmosphere which was also created through the love for all details in this Riad. We want to come back to Marrakech for sure - and it is also sure for us that we will come back to Riad Ben Tachfine again. Thanks a lot for everything, you made our vacation unforgettable.

Ubicación discutible, Riad súper recomendable!!
Lejos del bullicio del centro de Marrakech pero a unos 15min caminando de todos los atractivos de la ciudad. El personal se esmera en hacerte sentir como en casa, te preparan el desayuno y están siempre al pendiente llenándote de atenciones. Una experiencia por demás grata. El lugar es muy acogedor, la habitación limpia, ambiente familiar. La verdad es que al principio me desconcertó el acceso, no parece ser una zona bonita pero es muy seguro y tranquilo, se descansa como en casa y tienen facilidad para conseguir excursiones, traslado al aeropuerto y todo lo que necesites.

Très bon séjour au riad Ben Tachfine
Très bon séjour dans ce très beau riad authentique et chargé d histoire.
L équipe est accueillante et souriante, toujours attentive à nos besoins.
A l écart du bruit de la place jamaa el fna qui est facilement accessible à pied en un quart d heure.
Ce riad gagne à être connu.
Nous y reviendrons.
